Benjie Anderson
Actor
in Decatur (Atlanta), Georgia, United States
Benjamin "Benjie" Anderson is a native of Savannah, GA. He graduated from H.V. Jenkins High School after which, he attended Morris Brown College (Atlanta, GA) majoring in Psychology and minored in Voice/Music. He was President of the Morris Brown College Psychology Club, was twice President of the Morris Brown College Concert Choir, pledged Phi Mu Alpha Music Sinfonia, was a student council representative and activist, and is U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
As a SAG-AFTRAe... More actor, he has worked in film, television and theatre professionally for over 30 yrs. His background covers most mediums in the business (with a few exceptions), and he has played different characters throughout his acting career thus far.
Benjie and the production of the indie film Angel In The Aisles (Pocketwatch Productions) won a 25th Anniversary 2004 Silver Telly Award (www.tellyawards.com), and Benjie is a published poet. He was a nominee for the 2007 Amateur Poet of the Year Award, and won a 2007 Outstanding Achievement in Poetry Award from the International Society of Poets (of which he is member), a Poet's Choice Award, and an Editor's Choice Award from Noble House Publishers / Poetry Div., U.K.
Benjie is one of the Executive Producers, writers, directors and a principal actor on Love Always, Charleston, (formerly A-Town East/Misty)drama series from BJG Media Promotions of Atlanta, GA. This independent drama is a "first" as one of the longest running locally produced soap dramas in the history of Atlanta (Community Cable) TV, airing for 14 seasons. Love Always, Charleston (LAC)was the "first" local soap drama aired in the history of local Charleston, SC television.
Love Always Charleston made its 'national' debut on Dish Network / Colours TV in 2010. The producers, cast and crew are very proud and grateful to have this opportunity. The spin-off series, "Cool Carolina Nights" (CCN)airs on VA, NC and GA CTV stations.
Benjie starred in the drama series Money, Power & Respect, and both shows air on Comcast in Atlanta, GA. and online. See MPR and CCN on Facebook. In 2014, he is currently in production on feature indie films with other productions in pre-planning and pre-production.
His philosophy toward the business is: "He or she who is committed, has fun, works to hone their skills, seeks and capitalizes upon opportunities, helps others to realize their dreams, networks and is "hungry", can reap the benefits for their efforts. If you're serious about the craft, it is going to take some time. Patience and proactive measures to move you and your career forward, can result in you becoming the seasoned, respected, sought after and cast actor you want to be."
